I think that ‘The Katrina Project’ was one of the strongest plays put on by Hackley School, especially in comparison to the previous ones. I thought it was really powerful and the students per- fectly executed the emotions set forth by how Hurricane Katrina was dealt with, especially by Bush.

I thought it was really cool to get an inside scoop on what it was like for the people who lived during that time and hear the true stories from di erent families, because normally when you hear about Hurricane Katrina, you don’t really know what it was like for the people; you can only imagine. So it was amazing to see it through their eyes.
